Student Responses From Symposium:

The symposium was an experience that has changed my perspective of how I view people in the engineering profession.  The request for proposal presentation that our group set forth was accomplished like all of the other groups in the conference. We used all of the information that we have learned as engineering, planning and finance students and set forth the process that all proposals go through.  Using the mentor’s knowledge and team work our group ended up winning but all of the groups went above and beyond the abilities of any mock engineering company.

The CTF symposium was a great learning and networking experience. It showed me that transportation engineering can be challenging and exciting. The opportunity we got to network with high ranking officials from some of the largest engineering companies in the country is priceless.I am grateful for the opportunity and would recommend the symposium to everyone.

The symposium was the coolest school related function I have ever been to. The food was great, the people were great, and the hotel was extremely classy. The professionals opened up to all of us and answered any questions we had. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that should not be passed up. I walked away from the symposium with at least nine different business cards from some of the most successful people in the engineering field. Some of the connections that were made at the symposium will last a lifetime. The symposium gave me a renewed confidence and provided me with some skills that the classroom couldn't teach me.
